It should come as no surprise to state residents, but New Jersey might hold the record for holding the weirdest world records.

Weird World Records Held By New Jersey

Did you ever meet Francesco Vacca? If you had, you'd remember. He's the guy with 20 piercings in his tongue. He's from Lyndhurst, and that distinction put him in the Guinness Book of World Records.

New Jersey also holds the record for the fastest pizza box folding. That is another one we can be extremely proud of.

On the Asbury Park Boardwalk a few years back, you may have found yourself walking among the dead, or at least the zombies.

New Jersey's Record For Zombies

The Zombie Walk attracted nearly 10,000 participants, and that's the Guinness Book Of World Records record for a zombie gathering.
